“This
is a very significant day in our company’s
history. With this package of agreements,
we will grow our business with the unique
and unmatched 747-8 Freighter and open new
market opportunities with the 777 Freighter,”
said Alexey Isaykin, President of Volga-Dnepr
Group and Chairman of CargoLogicHolding.
Alexey delivered
the reported blockbuster $12 billion order
to Boeing to acquire twenty-nine Boeing 777
freighters, plus five B747-8Fs.
The order notes
a shift in aircraft types at Volga that now
appears to be building a future around the
twin-engine B777 cargo aircraft.

Freighter
Fervor

But by any measure,
for 2018 it’s all “Freighter Fervor”
at the international air show, which continues
until July 22.
DHL is also
on the books with a fourteen B777F order announced
at the event. Qatar Airways ordered five B777Fs.
For Mr. Isaykin
, there may be more to come.
“We will
work with Boeing to develop new freighter
solutions that will help us continue to serve
the unique and fast-changing requirements
of our global customers,” he declared.

Happy
Feet

The show attracts
more that 100,000 trade visitors from 100
countries networking and doing deals.
Business for
Airbus and Boeing topped $55 billion this
week.
Mrs. May declared
that her controversial Brexit blueprint will
safeguard millions of jobs in the aerospace
industry.

Another
Voice

Paul Everitt,

that represents companies in the UK Aerospace,
Defence, Security and Space sectors, said
that he thinks that any failure to agree on
a good deal on Brexit will hurt the sector.
Current uncertainty
has already had some impact, he told reporters.
